The Last Commander of the Red Alert

Chapter 527: Who Is the Deity?

"I initially thought it was me, but after checking some relevant information, I discovered that the deity the Ghost Clan worships isn't in the form of a Ghost Clan like me."

Now, this had become interesting. The deity the Ghost Clan believed in was not Taru, the ancestor of the Ghost Clan, but something else entirely. So, the question arose: Who was this deity?

"What are your thoughts?" Su Chen asked.

"Commander, are there any eighth-order or higher Ghost Clan members here? Information about the deity should only be known by the upper echelons of the Ghost Clan," Taru replied with a clear mind.

Soon, an eighth-order Ghost Clan member was brought to their location. This Ghost Clan member had survived the previous assault on the Ghost Clan's large stronghold but had been captured and imprisoned.

The eighth-order Ghost Clan had a proud and defiant expression on his face, even when he saw Su Chen, displaying his arrogance.

Before Su Chen could say anything, Taru rushed forward and sent the eighth-order Ghost Clan flying, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

This was something left behind by the Qiluo Civilization. Its defensive capabilities couldn't be easily broken even by several Super Soldiers, let alone an eighth-order Ghost Clan member.

"If you want to kill me, just do it. Don't expect to get any information from me!" The eighth-order Ghost Clan seemed to maintain his defiant attitude.

"You mouthy idiots are all that's left in the Ghost Clan. No wonder the Ghost Clan has fallen to this state, worshipping something as their deity without even knowing what it is," Taru scolded without hesitation as soon as he arrived.

Although he had become one of Su Chen's subordinates, his concern for the Ghost Clan had not disappeared. However, once the Ghost Clan's path went against Commander's, he would undoubtedly support Commander's choices.

"Do not slander the Great Deity! What are you, anyway?" The eighth-order Ghost Clan, seeing a flying iron sphere daring to insult his revered Great Deity, became furious and unleashed a barrage of insults.

If it weren't for Taru's mood, Su Chen almost burst into laughter. A descendant of the Ghost Clan had so directly insulted their ancestor; the scene was simply incredible.

Suddenly, the iron sphere stopped moving. The eighth-order Ghost Clan continued his furious ranting, but it seemed that the Ghost Clan's vocabulary was somewhat limited, repeatedly using the same phrases.

"Shut up!" Taru roared, seemingly intimidating the eighth-order Ghost Clan into silence.

For some reason, the eighth-order Ghost Clan had felt a momentary fear when Taru had spoken. Such emotions should not appear in a Ghost King like him; it must have been his imagination.

"Commander, I need to leave for a moment," Taru said.

Su Chen nodded slightly; he seemed to understand why Taru had gone away.

After some time, a figure walked through the door. He was muscular and every muscle on his body was perfectly defined, exemplifying what muscle beauty meant. What was most unforgettable about him, though, was that he had four horns on his forehead!

You see, most of the Ghost Clan had two horns, and only a few with exceptional talent had three. How could this Ghost Clan have four horns?

"Now, repeat what you just said to me," the entering Ghost Clan said calmly, looking at the eighth-order Ghost Clan on the ground. His gaze was so intense that the eighth-order Ghost Clan couldn't meet his eyes.

The eighth-order Ghost Clan had no idea what was happening. Why was there a free-roaming Ghost Clan here? Could it be that someone from the Ghost Clan had defected to the humans?

In his panic, he had forgotten the fact that this Ghost Clan had four horns on his head.

"Taru, don't scare your descendant. As long as he reveals information about the deity, I can spare his life."

The eighth-order Ghost Clan froze on the spot, descendant?

He looked at the Ghost Clan before him, no matter how he looked at it, this Ghost Clan seemed quite young. The idea that he could be this Ghost Clan's descendant was impossible!

Before the eighth-order Ghost Clan could respond, Taru spoke with a disgusted expression, "I don't have such foolish descendants who believe in an unknown deity instead of venerating their own ancestor."

Taru had thought that his deeds would become a legend, passed down to his descendants. However, when he realized that his own descendant didn't even know who he was, he was almost furious enough to exterminate these foolish, unworthy descendants.

When Taru had left earlier, it was to transfer a fragment of his consciousness into this body. The material cells of the body had been preserved in that city, and using the existing technology of Red Alert Base, a new body had been created for him.

Of course, it was just an ordinary Ghost Clan body; he had no innate power of his own.

"Ancestor?" The eighth-order Ghost Clan's face displayed obvious disdain. He thought that everything happening was a deception created by the human in front of him.

Taru knew exactly what was going through his descendant's mind. He didn't say a word but placed one hand on the eighth-order Ghost Clan's head. Then, a faint Psychic power transmitted from his hand into the eighth-order Ghost Clan's mind.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow. Taru had actually gained control over Psychic power?

Even if it was just a rudimentary application, it was much better than countless others. After all, Psychic power was challenging to master. However, once someone achieved mastery, they would eventually become a formidable Psychic.

Whatever Taru had done, it seemed that the eighth-order Ghost Clan had witnessed something terrifying. He couldn't conceal the fear on his face.

When Taru removed his hand, the eighth-order Ghost Clan was panting heavily, sweating profusely, and looking at Taru with an incredulous gaze, as if he had witnessed something unimaginable.

"Are you... truly our Ghost Clan's ancestor?"

It seemed that this eighth-order Ghost Clan was still somewhat doubtful. Taru didn't use Psychic power on him further but looked at him and said, "Whether I am or not, you should have already made up your mind. Tell me who the deity of the Ghost Clan is."

The eighth-order Ghost Clan's expression was conflicted. After a long while, he spoke in a low voice, "I don't know who the deity is. In fact, not all Ghost Clan members believe in the deity, but over the years, most of us have started to worship the deity. I was planning to start believing soon."

"Why would you believe in it?"

"Because... any Ghost Clan member who believes in the deity experiences a significant increase in power. I've been stuck at the 8th Order Early-Term for a long time now. Ghost Clan members who were at a similar level to me have surpassed me in strength since they started believing in the deity."

Taru furrowed his brow, "How do you contact this deity?"

"I don't know either. Only Lord Ghost Master knows how to contact the deity."

The eighth-order Ghost Clan knew nothing about the deity's whereabouts or identity. Seeing that he was willing to speak without holding back, Su Chen arranged for him to receive VIP treatment, allowing him to stay in a private room.

"This deity didn't just appear for no reason; there must be a cause," Taru pondered for a moment, then looked at Su Chen. "Commander, I want to personally search for the identity of this deity. Please grant me permission." (To be continued...)
